I believe the deer was hit by a train. Lines like that are usually found along railroad rights of way.
I've hiked along a couple of major rail lines in our area, and I've come across the remains of deer. The bodies were severed and parts were scattered due the force of the impact. There is no give in two or three 200T locomotives pulling 10000T of train at 40-60 mph.
If that line is out in Illinois or Kansas, there's a good chance the train is running at 60+ mph.
